Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-203250

In the in-vehicle camera described in Patent Document 1, since the in-vehicle camera body (in-vehicle parts) is held by the bracket by the urging force of the leaf spring, it is necessary to increase the urging force of the leaf spring in order to firmly hold the in-vehicle parts. There is. However, in the structure of Patent Document 1, when an in-vehicle component is attached to a bracket, the leaf spring must be elastically deformed by pushing the leaf spring from a direction that opposes the urging force of the leaf spring. Therefore, if the urging force of the leaf spring is too strong. A strong force is required to elastically deform the leaf spring, which may complicate the engagement work. For this reason, it is difficult to achieve both strengthening of the holding force of the in-vehicle parts and improvement of the mounting workability.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for mounted parts, which can achieve both strengthening of holding force of mounted parts and improvement of mounting workability.

In order to achieve the above object, the first aspect of the present invention includes a bracket and an in-vehicle component. The bracket has a pair of support surfaces and a rotation restricting engaging portion, and is fixed to the vehicle body side. A pair of support surfaces are spaced apart from each other in the first direction and extend along a second direction that intersects the first direction. The rotation-restricted engaging portions are arranged between the pair of support surfaces when viewed from the second direction, away from the pair of support surfaces. The vehicle-mounted component has a pair of shaft-shaped protrusions and a rotation-restricted locking portion, and is held by a bracket. A pair of axial protrusions project on both sides in the first direction corresponding to a pair of support surfaces. The rotation-restricted locking portion can be engaged with the rotation-restricted engaging portion.

The pair of support surfaces is provided with a pair of recesses that are recessed so as to hold the pair of protrusions. A pair of leaf spring members facing each of the pair of recesses are fixed to the bracket. The leaf spring member is elastically deformed in the third direction intersecting the first and second directions by the protruding portion that moves from one side to the other side in the second direction on the support surface, and the protruding portion into the recess. The protrusion is accommodated in the recess and is elastically held by urging the recess from the third direction. The support surface and the leaf spring member allow the protrusion on the support surface to move to the other side in the second direction from the recess. A pair of protrusions so that the pair of protrusions is moved to the other side of the recess in the second direction and the rotation restriction locking portion is located on the other side of the rotation regulation engagement portion in the second direction. By moving the in-vehicle component to one side in the second direction while the in-vehicle component is tilted around the portion, the protruding portion is accommodated in the recess and elastically held, and the rotation regulation locking portion rotates. Engage with the regulatory engagement. The engagement between the rotation-restricted locking portion and the rotation-restricted engaging portion is maintained by elastically holding the protrusion between the leaf spring member and the recess, and the in-vehicle component centering on the pair of protrusions. Regulate tilt. The leaf spring member elastically holds the protruding portion with the recess, and the rotation-restricted locking portion engages with the rotation-restricted engaging portion, so that the vehicle-mounted component is held by the bracket.

In the above configuration, the leaf spring member urges the protrusion housed in the recess from the third direction to the recess, so that the leaf spring member elastically holds the protrusion with the recess, and the rotation regulation locking portion. And the rotation regulation engaging portion engage with each other to regulate the tilting of the vehicle-mounted parts centering on the pair of protrusions. Therefore, the change in the mounting angle of the vehicle-mounted component with respect to the bracket is reliably prevented, and the vehicle-mounted component can be reliably held with respect to the bracket.

Further, when the in-vehicle component is attached to the bracket, the pair of protrusions of the in-vehicle component elastically deforms the leaf spring member in the third direction and elastically deforms the leaf spring member from one side to the other side in the second direction on the support surface. Move to. That is, the pair of protrusions of the in-vehicle component moves in the second direction intersecting the third direction in which the urging force of the leaf spring member is applied, and the leaf spring member is used to securely hold the in-vehicle component. Even when the urging force is increased, the increase in the resistance force that the protrusion receives from the leaf spring member when moving on the support surface is smaller than the increase in the urging force of the leaf spring member. Therefore, it is possible to both strengthen the holding force of the in-vehicle parts and improve the mounting workability.

Further , when engaging the rotation-restricted locking portion with the rotation-restricted engaging portion, a second in-vehicle component is tilted around a pair of protruding portions that have entered the other side in the second direction from the recess. Move to one side of the direction. As a result, the protruding portion is accommodated in the recess and elastically held, and the rotation-restricted locking portion engages with the rotation-restricted engaging portion. Therefore, since a strong force is not required when engaging the rotation-restricted locking portion with the rotation-restricted engaging portion, the vehicle-mounted parts can be easily attached to the bracket.

A second aspect of the present invention is the mounting structure of the first aspect, in which the protrusion is inserted between the leaf spring member and the support surface from one side in the second direction with respect to the recess. The leaf spring member has an abutting portion that faces the concave portion and elastically holds the protruding portion between the concave portion, and extends from the abutting portion to the other side in the second direction toward the other side in the second direction. It has an inclined portion that is inclined away from the support surface. The inclined portion and the support surface partition a region on the other side in the second direction that allows the protrusion portion to move to the other side in the second direction from the recess.

According to the present invention, it is possible to both strengthen the holding force of the in-vehicle parts and improve the mounting workability.
