  However, the bracket extending toward the toothed wheel separated from the mounting support, such as the bracket described in Patent Document 1, tends to have low support rigidity, and, for example, its resonance frequency is included in the frequency band of the brake squeal. In this case, the sensor (wheel speed sensor) may be erroneously detected due to resonance with the brake squeal.

  On the other hand, in the wheel rotation sensor (wheel speed sensor) mounting structure described in Patent Document 2, since the wheel speed sensor is supported by two boss portions, it is supported as compared to the case where the wheel speed sensor is supported by one boss portion. Stiffness can be increased. For this reason, even if the brake flange and the sensor rotor are arranged apart from each other and the length of the boss portion is set long, the resonance frequency is set higher than the frequency band of the brake squeal, and the problem of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 Can be avoided. However, this brake flange has a boss part integrally formed on the flange surface by casting to attach a wheel speed sensor, and parts (brake flange) are shared with vehicles that do not require a wheel speed sensor. It is difficult to do. For this reason, the brake flange of a vehicle that does not require a wheel speed sensor cannot be used for a vehicle that requires a wheel speed sensor, and a special brake flange must be prepared by casting, which increases costs. May be incurred.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a wheel speed sensor that can increase the support rigidity for the wheel speed sensor and can reduce the cost by using common parts.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, the wheel speed sensor mounting structure according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a sensor rotor, a brake flange, a first bracket, a second bracket, and a wheel speed sensor. The sensor rotor has a portion to be detected on one side surface, is arranged so as to intersect with a rotating shaft of a wheel that rotates with respect to the vehicle body, and is fixed to the rotating shaft. The brake flange has a flange surface that is spaced from the one side surface of the sensor rotor along the rotation axis and faces the one side surface of the sensor rotor, and is fixed to the vehicle body side. The first bracket has a pair of column portions extending from the base end portion on the brake flange side to the tip end portion on the sensor rotor side, and is fastened and fixed to the flange surface of the brake flange. The second bracket has a harness fixing portion that fixes a harness extending from the wheel speed sensor to the vehicle body side, and is fastened and fixed to the tip end portions of the pair of column portions of the first bracket so that the tip end portions of the pair of column portions are fixed. Link. The wheel speed sensor is attached to the second bracket, is disposed between the pair of column portions, opposes the rotation locus of the detected portion of the sensor rotor, and detects the detected portion from a direction substantially parallel to the rotation axis. .

  In the above configuration, the first bracket fastened and fixed to the brake flange has a pair of column portions, and the wheel speed sensor is fixed to the tip portions of the pair of column portions via the second bracket. The That is, since the wheel speed sensor is supported by two (one pair) column parts, the support rigidity can be increased as compared with the case where the wheel speed sensor is supported by one column part.

  Further, since it is not necessary to perform special processing or the like on the brake flange side, the brake flange can be used in common with a vehicle that does not require a wheel speed sensor, and costs can be reduced.

  In addition, since the second bracket has a harness fixing portion that fixes the harness extending from the wheel speed sensor to the vehicle body side, before fixing the second bracket to the first bracket, the wheel speed sensor is attached to the second bracket, The harness of the wheel speed sensor can be fixed to the harness fixing portion of the second bracket. For this reason, it is difficult to fix the harness to the vehicle body side after attaching the wheel speed sensor to the brake flange, for example, when the wheel speed sensor is arranged in a narrow space inside the disc wheel. However, by fixing the wheel speed sensor and the harness to the second bracket in advance and fixing the second bracket to which the wheel speed sensor and the harness are fixed to the first bracket fastened and fixed to the vehicle body side, the wheel speed sensor Can be attached to the brake flange and the harness can be easily fixed to the vehicle body.

  Further, the second bracket is fastened and fixed to the tip end portions of the pair of column portions of the first bracket. That is, since the first bracket and the second bracket are separate, the first bracket is fastened and fixed to the brake flange before the second bracket is fastened to the pair of pillars of the first bracket. Can do. For this reason, for example, even if the fastening location of the bolt for fastening and fixing the first bracket to the brake flange is between the pair of column portions, Interference with the two brackets can be avoided, and the workability of the wheel speed sensor mounting work is improved.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the wheel speed sensor mounting structure according to the first aspect, wherein the second bracket is a pair of pillar portions of the first bracket in a state of being fastened and fixed to the first bracket. An extending portion extending along one pillar portion from the distal end side to the proximal end side of at least one pillar portion. The harness fixing portion is disposed at the distal end portion of the extending portion.

  In the above configuration, the second bracket has an extending portion extending along the column portion, and the harness fixing portion is disposed at the tip of the extending portion. For this reason, even if the space around the first bracket is narrow, the harness can be disposed along the column portion and fixed to the vehicle body side.

  Further, by setting the length of the extending portion to a desired length, the harness can be disposed and fixed at a desired position in the extending direction of the column portion.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to increase the support rigidity for the wheel speed sensor and reduce the cost by sharing the parts.

In the region between the bolt holes 37 a and 37 c at both ends of the base portion 33, the base end portions 34 a of the pair of pillar portions 34 are arranged at positions sandwiching the bolt holes 37 b so as to be integrated with the surface 36 of the base portion 33. It is formed. The pair of column portions 34 extend from the base end portion 34 a toward the tip end portion 34 b on the inner side surface 12 side of the sensor rotor 10 in the vehicle width direction. Bolt holes 38 extending inward in the vehicle width direction are formed in the tip end portions 34b of the pair of column portions 34, respectively. A female thread is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the bolt hole 38. In the first bracket 31, the bolt 23 is connected to the three bolts of the base portion 33 in a state where the bottom surface 35 of the base portion 33 is in surface contact with the fixing region 72 of the vehicle width direction outer side surface 71 of the fixing plate portion 54 of the anchor bracket 50. The bolts 23 are screwed into the bolt holes 22 of the brake flange 20 by passing through the holes 37 a to 37 c and the three bolt holes 57 of the fixing plate portion 54 of the anchor bracket 50, thereby being fastened and fixed to the brake flange 20 ( 2 and 3).

  The second bracket 32 is bent from an outer diameter portion of the base plate portion 32a, the cylindrical sensor fixing portion 32b, and the base plate portion 32a, and extends inward in the vehicle width direction. The extending portion 32c and the thin plate-like harness fixing portion 32d are fixed to the pair of column portions 34 by a pair of bolts 62, and the tip portions 34b of the pair of column portions 34 are connected. The base plate portion 32a is a flat plate extending in an arc shape, and bolt holes 39 into which the bolts 62 can be inserted are formed at both ends thereof. The bolt holes 39 at both ends of the base plate portion 32a are disposed at positions corresponding to the bolt holes 38 at the tip portions 34b of the pair of column portions 34. Two foot portions 60a of a substantially U-shaped support plate portion 60 that supports the sensor fixing portion 32b are provided in the central region 61 between the two bolt holes 39 on the outer surface in the vehicle width direction of the base plate portion 32a. Fixed. The cylindrical sensor fixing portion 32b is fixed to the central region 61 of the arc-shaped base plate portion 32a and the outer diameter portion of the support plate portion 60 by welding or the like while extending in the vehicle width direction. A wheel speed sensor 40, which will be described later, is inserted and fixed to the inner diameter portion of the sensor fixing portion 32b. The extending portion 32c continuously extends from the outer diameter portion at one end portion of the base plate portion 32a toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction along the side surface of the column portion 34 on one side. The thin plate-like harness fixing portion 32d is disposed on the distal end side (inward in the vehicle width direction) of the extending portion 32c extending from the base plate portion 32a and is fixed to the extending portion 32c. The harness fixing portion 32d is a metal thin plate that can be easily deformed and is formed in a substantially U shape. The harness fixing portion 32d that is a thin plate is engaged with a harness 48 that extends from a wheel speed sensor 40 described later. By deforming, the harness 48 is fixed to the second bracket 32. The length of the extended portion 32c and the position of the harness fixing portion 32d are set so that the output portion 42 of the wheel speed sensor 40 and the harness fixing portion 32d, which will be described later, are substantially at the same position in the vehicle width direction.

  The wheel speed sensor 40 includes a detection unit 41 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction and an output unit 42 on the inner side in the vehicle width direction, and is formed in a rod shape. The detection unit 41 is an optical sensor that measures a relative distance, and detects the distance of the sensor rotor 10 to the detected unit 11 (see FIG. 1). The output unit 42 outputs the difference in the distance to the unevenness of the detected portion 11 read by the detection unit 41 as a pulse waveform to the control device (not shown) via the harness 48. The control device receives the pulse signal output from the output unit 42 of the wheel speed sensor 40 via the harness 48, and determines whether the rotation speed obtained from the received pulse signal or the brake pedal (not shown) is depressed. On the basis of a stop lamp signal or the like indicating ABS, ABS control for restricting braking of a brake drum (not shown) by the brake shoe 51 is performed. The wheel speed sensor 40 is inserted into the cylindrical sensor fixing portion 32b of the second bracket 32 from the detection portion 41 side before fixing the second bracket 32 to the first bracket 31, and the vehicle width of the sensor fixing portion 32b. It is fixed to the sensor fixing part 32b so that the detection part 41 protrudes from the outer end in the direction. In addition, after fixing the wheel speed sensor 40 to the second bracket 32 and before fixing the second bracket 32 to the first bracket 31, the harness 48 extending from the output portion 42 is fixed to the second bracket 32 by the harness fixing portion 32d. To do.

  Next, attachment of the wheel speed sensor 40 according to the present embodiment will be described. The wheel speed sensor 40 is fixed to the brake flange 20 via the sensor bracket 30. First, the fixing plate portion 54 of the anchor bracket 50 is inserted into the bolt hole 22 of the brake flange 20 with the inner surface in the vehicle width direction of the fixing plate portion 54 of the anchor bracket 50 being in surface contact with the flange surface 21 of the brake flange 20. Fastened and fixed with five bolts 23. As shown in FIG. 2, the five bolts 23 have bolt holes 57 arranged at positions where the sensor bracket 30 is not fixed (areas other than the fixing area 72) among the eight bolt holes 57 of the anchor bracket 50. This is a bolt 23 to be inserted. Next, the bottom surface 35 of the base portion 33 of the first bracket 31 of the sensor bracket 30 is brought into surface contact with the fixing region 72 of the outer surface 71 in the vehicle width direction of the fixing plate portion 54 of the anchor bracket 50 fixed to the brake flange 20. In this state, the first bracket 31 is fastened and fixed to the brake flange 20 by the three bolts 23 together with the anchor bracket 50. Finally, the second bracket 32 in a state where the wheel speed sensor 40 and the harness 48 are fixed is fastened and fixed to the bolt holes 38 of the tip portions 34b of the pair of column portions 34 of the first bracket 31 by the bolts 62. Thereby, the wheel speed sensor 40 is fixed to the brake flange 20 via the sensor bracket 30. In a state where the wheel speed sensor 40 is fixed to the brake flange 20, the detection unit 41 of the wheel speed sensor 40 is in a direction substantially parallel to the rotation axis of the wheel with respect to the rotation locus of the detected part 11 of the sensor rotor 10. And are close to the rotation trajectory of the detected part 11. Note that the length from the bottom surface 35 of the sensor bracket 30 to the outer end in the vehicle width direction of the sensor fixing portion 32b is the detection portion 41 of the wheel speed sensor 40 in a state where the wheel speed sensor 40 is fixed to the brake flange 20. Is set to a length close to the rotation locus of the detected portion 11 of the sensor rotor 10.

  In the mounting structure of the wheel speed sensor 40 configured as described above, the first bracket 31 of the sensor bracket 30 fixed to the brake flange 20 has a pair of column portions 34 and a pair of column portions. The wheel speed sensor 40 is fixed via the second bracket 32 to the tip end portion 34 b of the 34. Thus, since the wheel speed sensor 40 is supported by the two (one pair) column portions 34, the support rigidity can be increased as compared with the case where the wheel speed sensor 40 is supported by one column portion.

  Further, since both base end portions 34 a of the pair of column portions 34 of the sensor bracket 30 and the base portion 33 are integrally formed, the pair of column portions 34 are reinforced by the base portion 33, and the support rigidity of the sensor bracket 30. Will increase.

  Further, since the pair of column portions 34 respectively extend from the surface 36 of the base portion 33 toward the sensor rotor 10, the length of the column portion 34 is equal to the thickness of the base portion 33 (the distance between the bottom surface 35 and the surface 36). The support rigidity of the sensor bracket 30 is increased.

  Further, the bottom surface 35 of the base portion 33 of the sensor bracket 30 is in surface contact with the vehicle width direction outer side surface 71 of the fixing plate portion 54 of the anchor bracket 50. For this reason, for example, the fixed region 72 has a fixed region 72 as compared with the case where the base end portion 34a of the pair of column portions 34 is brought into contact with the outer surface 71 in the vehicle width direction of the fixed plate portion 54 of the anchor bracket 50 without the base portion 33. Since it spreads, the fastening fixing location of the volt | bolt 23 can be increased by the part which the fixed area | region 72 spreads, and the support rigidity of the sensor bracket 30 can be improved.

  Further, the bottom surface 35 of the base portion 33 (of the first bracket 31) of the sensor bracket 30 is in surface contact with the fixing region 72 of the vehicle width direction outer side surface 71 of the fixing plate portion 54 of the anchor bracket 50. Increased stability.

  Further, since it is not necessary to perform special processing or the like for fixing the sensor bracket 30 to the brake flange 20 on the brake flange 20 side (including the anchor bracket 50), the vehicle speed sensor 40 is not required. The brake flange 20 and the anchor bracket 50 can be used in common, and the cost can be reduced.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to increase the support rigidity with respect to the wheel speed sensor 40 and reduce the cost by sharing the parts.

  In addition, since the sensor bracket 30 includes the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32, only the first bracket 31 is fixed to the brake flange 20 before the second bracket 32 is fixed to the first bracket 31. be able to. For this reason, when the bolt 23 is inserted into the bolt hole 37b of the base portion 33 of the first bracket 31 and the bolt 23 is fastened, interference between the instrument for fastening the bolt 23 and the second bracket 32 is avoided. Thus, the workability of the work of attaching the wheel speed sensor 40 is improved.

  Further, since the extending portion 32c is extended along the side surface of the column portion 34 on one side, and the harness fixing portion 32d is disposed at the distal end portion of the extending portion 32c, the column portion 34 and the wall portion 55 of the anchor bracket 50 are arranged. A harness 48 can be disposed in a narrow space between them and fixed to the vehicle body side.

  Further, the second bracket 32 in a state where the wheel speed sensor 40 and the harness 48 are fixed is fixed to the first bracket 31 fixed to the brake flange 20. Therefore, the harness 48 is attached to the vehicle body after the wheel speed sensor 40 is attached to the brake flange 20 as in the case where the harness 48 is disposed in a narrow space between the column portion 34 and the wall portion 55 of the anchor bracket 50. Even when it is difficult to fix to the side, the harness 48 disposed in the narrow space can be easily fixed to the vehicle body side.

  Further, the second bracket 32 has an extending portion 32c extending along the side surface of the column portion 34 on one side, and the harness fixing portion 32d is disposed on the distal end side (in the vehicle width direction) of the extending portion 32c. The For this reason, by setting the length of the extending portion 32c to a desired length, the harness 48 can be disposed and fixed at a desired position in the vehicle width direction of the pillar portion 34 along the pillar portion 34. it can.

  In this embodiment, the sensor bracket 30 is fastened and fixed to the brake flange 20 with the fixing plate portion 54 of the anchor bracket 50 sandwiched between the flange surface 21 of the brake flange 20. The sensor bracket 30 may be fastened and fixed to the fixing plate portion 54 of the anchor bracket 50 fastened and fixed to the flange surface 21. In other words, fastening the sensor bracket 30 to the flange surface 21 of the brake flange 20 is not limited to fastening the sensor bracket 30 to the flange surface 21 of the brake flange 20, and is not limited to the flange surface 21 of the brake flange 20. By fixing the sensor bracket 30 to another member to be fixed (for example, the fixing plate portion 54 of the anchor bracket 50 in this embodiment), the sensor bracket 30 is connected to the flange surface 21 of the brake flange 20 via the other member. Including the case of fastening and fixing.

  In the present embodiment, the fixing plate portion 54 of the anchor bracket 50 is disposed between the flange surface 21 of the brake flange 20 and the bottom surface 35 of the base portion 33 of the sensor bracket 30, and the bottom surface of the base portion 33 of the sensor bracket 30. Although the sensor bracket 30 is fixed to the brake flange 20 in a state where the surface 35 is in surface contact with the fixing region 72 of the vehicle width direction outer side surface 71 of the fixing plate portion 54 of the anchor bracket 50, the sensor bracket 30 is not limited to this. Absent. For example, the fixing plate portion 54 of the anchor bracket 50 is not disposed between the flange surface 21 of the brake flange 20 and the bottom surface 35 of the base portion 33 of the sensor bracket 30, and the bottom surface 35 of the base portion 33 of the sensor bracket 30 is used as the brake flange. The sensor bracket 30 may be fixed to the brake flange 20 in a state of being in surface contact with the 20 flange surfaces 21. That is, the state in which the base portion 33 of the sensor bracket 30 is in surface contact with the flange surface 21 of the brake flange 20 is not limited to the state in which the base portion 33 is in direct surface contact with the flange surface 21 of the brake flange 20. This includes a state in which the base portion 33 is in surface contact with another member (in this embodiment, the fixing plate portion 54 of the anchor bracket 50) fixed to the flange surface 21 side of the flange 20.

  The sensor bracket 30 may not have the base portion 33. That is, the base end portions 34 a of the pair of column portions 34 of the first bracket 31 may be fixed to the fixing plate portion 54 of the anchor bracket 50 or the flange surface 21 of the brake flange 20.

  Further, in this embodiment, the harness fixing portion 32d formed in a substantially U shape with a metal thin plate is provided in the second bracket 32. However, if the harness 48 can be fixed to the second bracket 32, the harness fixing is performed. The material and shape of the portion 32d are not limited to the above.
