2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a vehicle finisher mounting structure is known in which a plurality of finishers are mounted adjacent to a finisher mounting body in a vehicle body and mounted by fitting the finisher to the finisher mounting body (see, for example, Patent Document 1). .
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-16997

  However, in the conventional vehicle finisher mounting structure, the finisher is exclusively attached to the finisher mounting body by fitting, so that the mounting strength against vibration due to vehicle running and interference with the occupant is not sufficient. When these finishers are adjacent to each other and attached to the finisher mounting main body, there is a problem that a difference in surface between adjacent finishers and a gap are generated.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above-mentioned problem, and the finisher mounting body and the finisher are improved in mutual fixation without deteriorating the appearance quality of the finisher. In addition, the surface difference and gap between adjacent finishers are improved. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle finisher mounting structure that facilitates management of the vehicle.

To achieve the above object, in the present invention, in a vehicle finisher mounting structure in which a plurality of finishers are mounted adjacent to a finisher mounting body fixed to a vehicle body,
Among the plurality of finishers, an overlap portion where the first finisher and the second finisher overlap is set,
A main body fixing portion that fixes the first finisher to the finisher mounting main body and a slide fitting portion that connects the first finisher and the second finisher by slide fitting are set in the overlap portion. To do.
The slide fitting portion includes a first slide fitting portion provided in an overlap portion with the second finisher in the first finisher, and an overlap portion with the first finisher in the second finisher. A second slide fitting portion provided in
The first slide fitting portion is provided with a first positioning fitting portion for positioning with the finisher mounting body, and a second positioning fitting portion for fitting with the first positioning fitting portion is provided on the finisher mounting body. Provided,
The relative position between the first finisher and the finisher mounting body is determined by fitting the first positioning fitting portion and the second positioning fitting portion.

  Therefore, in the vehicle finisher mounting structure of the present invention, the main body fixing portion that fixes the first finisher to the finisher mounting main body is covered with the second finisher. For this reason, the appearance quality of the first finisher is ensured without exposing the fixing portion of the first finisher to the surface.

  The second finisher is connected to the first finisher by the slide fitting portion. That is, since the connection between the two finishers is a slide fitting, a large force does not act on the slide fitting portion which is a connecting portion between the two finishers. For this reason, the problem of deterioration in appearance quality due to the connection with the first finisher (for example, the occurrence of sink marks on the finisher surface due to the fastening force at the connecting portion) does not occur on the surface of the second finisher. Further, since the second finisher is connected to the first finisher fixed to the finisher mounting body, the fixability between the second finisher and the finisher mounting body is equivalent to the fixing performance between the first finisher and the finisher mounting body. Will be. Therefore, for example, if the first finisher and the finisher mounting body are fixed firmly using screws or the like, the second finisher is firmly fixed to the finisher mounting body.

  Furthermore, since the first finisher and the second finisher are directly connected by the slide fitting portions provided on them, the relative surface difference and the gap between the two finishers are managed by either one of the finishers. This makes it possible to eliminate the need to manage both finishers independently.

As a result, according to the present invention, the finisher mounting body and the finisher can be fixed to each other without deteriorating the appearance quality of the finisher, and in addition, the difference between adjacent finishers can be easily managed and the gap can be easily managed. Figured.
The slide fitting portion includes a first slide fitting portion provided in an overlap portion with the second finisher in the first finisher, and an overlap portion with the first finisher in the second finisher. The first slide fitting portion is provided with a first positioning fitting portion for positioning with the finisher mounting body, and the finisher mounting body includes the first slide fitting portion. A second positioning fitting portion for fitting with the positioning fitting portion is provided, and the relative position between the first finisher and the finisher mounting body is determined by fitting the first positioning fitting portion and the second positioning fitting portion. By determining, it is possible to easily configure a vehicle finisher mounting structure that exhibits the above-described effects.
In addition, since the relative position between the first finisher and the finisher mounting body is determined by the fitting between the second positioning fitting shaft and the first positioning fitting groove, the first finisher and the finisher mounting body can be assembled together. It becomes easy.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for realizing the vehicle finisher mounting structure of the present invention will be described based on Example 1 shown in the drawings.

On the other hand, the console body 2 is provided with an auxiliary screw hole screwed with the auxiliary screw. 23 is provided. Auxiliary screws are used as necessary to increase the mutual fixing strength between the rear finisher 4 and the console body 2.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 2B, the front finisher 3 and the rear finisher 4 have their surfaces set to have the same surface in which the surface difference m does not appear when the front and rear finishers are fitted. Yes. FIG. 2B shows a state where the front finisher 3 and the rear finisher 4 are not completely in a sliding fit state for convenience. Further, the front finisher 3 and the rear finisher 4 are set so that the gap s between them is the minimum gap in consideration of manufacturing errors and assembly in the slide fitting state.

  Next, the operation will be described.

  Here, the background art and the background to the present invention will be described before the description of the operation.

  FIG. 4 is a view showing a console box to which a vehicle finisher mounting structure of another form created by the present inventor is applied, and (a) is a view showing a state in which the finisher is attached to the console body. b) is a diagram showing a state in which the finisher is not attached to the console body. FIG. 5 is a view showing a main part of the finisher shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the vehicle finisher mounting structure according to this different embodiment includes a front finisher 3 </ b> A having a fitting-type fastening portion 93 </ b> A, and the front finisher 3 </ b> A is firmly fixed to the console body 2 </ b> A. As a result, the fixability of the finisher is improved as compared with the vehicle finisher mounting structure that relies exclusively on the fitting between the finisher and the console body. The rear finisher 4A is fixed in the same manner.

  However, since both the front finisher 3A and the rear finisher 4A are fixed to the console main body 2A via the fastening portion, there is a problem that sink marks around the fastening portion on the finisher surface are manifested by the force acting on the fastening portion. It was happening. Further, in the finisher mounting structure (see FIG. 4B) in which a plurality of finishers are arranged adjacent to each other, there is a problem that relative surface differences and gaps between adjacent finishers are likely to occur, which is not preferable in terms of appearance quality. It was.

  Therefore, among the deterioration of the appearance quality due to the occurrence of sink marks and the occurrence of surface differences and gaps, the position provided on the rib 8A of the console main body 2A is used for the deterioration of the appearance quality due to the occurrence of surface differences and gaps. By fitting the position regulating rib 82A (see FIG. 5) provided on the finisher side into the regulating rib 81A (see FIG. 4B), this surface difference and the expansion of the gap are suppressed. However, since the front finisher 3A and the rear finisher 4A are independent of each other, the management of the relative surface difference between the front and rear finishers and the gap between the front finisher 3A and the rib 8A, the rear finisher, It is necessary to manage the surface difference and the gap between 4A and rib 8A separately and independently.

  That is, as compared with the conventional vehicle finisher mounting structure, the fixability of the finisher is improved, and the deterioration of the appearance quality due to the generation of surface differences and gaps can be eliminated. However, deterioration in appearance quality due to sink marks on the finisher surface caused by a force that fixes the front finisher 3A and the rear finisher 4A to the console body 2, and the relative surface difference between the front and rear finishers and the labor for managing the gap may be further saved. It was desired.

  Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 3, the inventor sets an overlap portion W between the front finisher 3 and the rear finisher 4, and includes a slide fitting groove shaft 31 and a slide fitting groove 42. The front and rear finishers are connected by the fitting structure. The reason is as follows.

  (I) The front and rear finishers do not become independent via the above-mentioned ribs, and the management of one finisher and the rib adjacent to each other in relation to the management of the relative surface difference m and gap s between the front and rear finishers, It is possible to manage the surface difference m and the gap s by the management of one of the finishers without the separate management of the management of the other finisher and the rib, and (ii) the connection of the front and rear finishers is as follows: Due to the slide fitting that does not use a fastening force such as a screw, the occurrence of sink marks in the front finisher (upper surface of the overlap portion W) is prevented, and (iii) the front finisher 3 and the rear finisher 4 are slid Although fixed by fitting, the front finisher 3 is connected to a rear finisher 4 that is firmly fixed to the console body 2. Because, by the rigid fixation of the front finisher is secured, because focusing on the point that it is possible to meet the above-mentioned requirements.

  In this way, the finisher mounting structure for a vehicle according to the first embodiment, that is, the finisher mounting body and the finisher are fixed to each other at the same time. At this time, the appearance quality of the finisher is not deteriorated, and the adjacent finisher is not deteriorated. Thus, a vehicle finisher mounting structure that can easily manage the surface difference and the gap has been realized.

  Hereinafter, based on FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the operation in the vehicle finisher mounting structure of the first embodiment will be described as “fixing operation” regarding mutual fixation between the finisher and the console main body, The explanation will be divided into “Easy to manage surface difference etc.” relating to the relative surface difference and gap of the finisher.

[Fixing action]
The front finisher 3 and the rear finisher 4 are fixed to the console main body 2. As shown in FIG. 2B, screws 46 are used for this fixing. Therefore, the fastening force between the screw 46 and the female thread portion 21 formed on the console main body 2 can increase the mutual fixing force of the rear finisher 4 and the console main body 2, and vibration during vehicle travel and interference with the occupant Thus, loosening of the mutual fixation between the rear finisher 4 and the console main body 2 which is a problem is suppressed.

  Further, when the rear finisher 4 is attached to the console main body 2, a positioning fitting shaft 44 is provided on the console main body 2 so as to project from the lower end of the slide fitting groove 42 in the rear finisher 4 that plays an effect of maintaining the appearance quality described later. The positioning fitting groove 22 is fitted. For this reason, the screw fixing is performed in a state where the positioning fitting shaft 44 is fitted in the positioning fitting groove 22, and the relative positioning when the rear finisher 4 and the console body 2 are mutually fixed is performed. Simplification is achieved.

[Appearance quality maintenance]
As described above, the front finisher 3 is connected to the rear finisher 4, and this connection is performed by a slide fitting shaft 31 provided on the front finisher 3 as shown in FIG. This is because the slide fitting groove 42 provided in the slide fitting groove 42 is slide fitted. That is, since the force acting when the front and rear finishers are connected is small on the surface of the front finisher 3 provided with the slide fitting shaft 31, the occurrence of sink marks on the surface of the front finisher 3 is prevented. Since the front finisher 3 is connected to the rear finisher 4 that is firmly fixed to the console main body 2 with screws, sufficient fixability with the console main body 2 is also ensured.

  In addition, a main body fixing portion 41 provided on the rear finisher 4 for fixing the rear finisher 4 to the console main body 2 is covered with an overlap portion W which is a portion overlapping with the front finisher 3. For this reason, this main body fixing | fixed part 41 is not visually recognized from a finisher upper surface, but the fall of the external appearance quality by the fixing | fixed part exposing is also prevented.

[Easy to manage differences between surfaces]
The front finisher 3 and the rear finisher 4 are shaped so that there is no surface difference m between the finishers when the finishers are in the slide-fitted state, and with respect to the gap s between the front and rear finishers, the slide-fit state In step (b), a gap s (minimum gap) is set in consideration of a manufacturing error and an assembly amount, and then connected to each other. For this reason, it is not necessary to separately manage the surface difference m and the gap s. Further, even if a surface difference m or a gap s is generated due to vibration caused by running of the vehicle, the surface difference m and the gap s can be managed only by adjusting the installation position of the front finisher 3. Easy to do. That is, as in the case of using the rib 8A described above, the management of the surface difference and the gap in the relationship between the front finisher 3 and the rib 8A, and the management of the surface difference m and the clearance s in the relationship between the rear finisher 4 and the rib 8A. Need not be performed separately.

  Moreover, the space required for installation of the rib 8A can be omitted by making the rib 8A unnecessary.

Next, the effect will be described.
