Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a component mounting bracket that allows various electrical components to be mounted compactly.

For example, automobiles are equipped with various electrical components.
In connection with this, various electrical components such as relays and flasher units are used. Since such electrical components can be installed within a limited and narrow vehicle body space, it is desirable to mount them as close together as possible and compactly.

However, in the past, when the flasher unit installed a relay, the L A bracket is attached to the vehicle body, a flasher unit is attached to the bracket, and the relay is mounted to the vehicle body using a bracket that is integrally formed near the flasher unit.

If various electrical parts such as flasher units and relays are mounted on the vehicle body using separate brackets, each bracket requires mounting space, making it impossible to install compactly, and the workability is poor. Ta.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, there is also a vehicle in which each electrical component is attached to the vehicle body using a bracket 1 in which mounting parts 2 and 3 for electrical components are arranged horizontally and integrally formed. The shape of the device became large, and a large amount of installation space was required.

This invention is an improvement on the above-mentioned problems in the conventional mounting of various electrical parts. That is, this invention has two sides that are bent into an L-shaped cross section, one side of which is used as a first component attachment portion, and the other side of which is used as a second component attachment portion.
A mounting method in which the extended end of the second component attachment part is used as the attachment part to a mounting base such as a vehicle body stationary member, and the mounting piece of the component to be attached to the second component attachment part is inserted into the center of the corner of both sides. This makes it possible to install two parts with a bracket the same size as one part, reducing the mounting space of the bracket by half, and adding a second part to the space behind the first part.
The parts can be arranged close to each other, and the shape of the bracket is also simplified to improve the installation workability.

Examples of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, 5 is a vehicle body stationary member, and 6 is a component mounting bracket that is attached and fixed to the vehicle body stationary member 5 to which various electrical components are attached, and has two bent sides. A component mounting portion (hereinafter referred to as a first mounting portion) 8 having a width corresponding to the mounting width of the component is formed in front of the substantially horizontal surface 7 on the lower side, and a substantially central portion of the first mounting portion 8 is formed. A fixing hole 9 is formed in. In addition, a mounting hole 11 is formed at the approximate corner of the rear rising portion 10 of the first mounting portion 8, which serves both to reduce weight and to accommodate a component mounting portion. (hereinafter referred to as a second attachment part) 12 is formed. This second mounting portion 12 has a bolt hole 13 formed approximately in the center thereof. An upper flat surface 14 connected to the rising portion 10 is formed as a substantially flat surface, and the flat surface 14 is brought into contact with the vehicle body stationary member 5 and fixed together by spot welding or the like. 15 is the first mounting portion 8 of the component mounting bracket 6
An electrical component to be attached to, for example, a flasher unit, has support pieces 16, 1 at three locations on its upper surface with shaped cross-sections that engage with the three peripheral edges of the first mounting portion 8.
6 and 16 are formed, and a protrusion 17 is formed in the center portion to fit into the fixing hole 9 of the first attachment portion 8 and prevent it from falling off. This protrusion 17 is formed in a tapered shape so as to gradually protrude from the insertion side so that the flusher unit 15 can be easily attached. Reference numeral 18 denotes an electric component, such as a starter relay, which is attached to the second attachment portion 12 of the component attachment bracket 6. An L-shaped attachment piece 19 is integrally fixed to the upper surface of the electric component 18, and a bolt hole 20 is bored in this attachment piece 19. be. 21 is a bolt that fixes the starter relay 18 to the second mounting portion 12; 22 is a nut that is tightened to the bolt 21;
It is integrally fixed to the outer surface of a board 23 bent into a substantially U-shape. By inserting this board 23 from the mounting hole 11 side and clamping and fixing it to the second mounting part 12, the nut 22 is fixed to the second mounting part 12. It is attached to the inner surface side of the attachment part 12. Bolt holes 24 are also formed in the substrate 23.

Further, FIGS. 4 and 5 show a second embodiment, and a component mounting bracket when the upper plane 14 connected to the rising portion 10 in FIGS. 4 and 5 is attached to a substantially vertical portion of the vehicle body stationary member 5. This is an example. As mentioned above, FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 5 show that the upper plane 14 of the component mounting bracket can be bent as necessary depending on the mounting location of the vehicle body stationary member 5. shows.

In the above configuration, in order to attach the flasher unit 15 and starter relay 18 to the vehicle body stationary member 5 via the component mounting bracket 6, first, the upper flat portion 14 of the component mounting bracket 6 is brought into contact with an appropriate location on the vehicle body stationary member 5. Then, fix it by spot welding, etc. and the second part of the component mounting bracket 6.
A board 23 to which nuts 22 are fixed is attached to the mounting portion 12, and the respective bolt holes 13 and 24 are aligned.
Then, the supporting pieces 16, 16, 16 formed on the upper surface of the flasher unit 15 are slid and engaged with the peripheral edge of the first mounting portion 8 of the component mounting bracket 6, and the protrusion 17 is fitted into the fixing hole 9. Attach the flasher unit 15 to the first attachment part 8. Subsequently, the mounting piece 19 of the starter relay 18 is inserted into the mounting hole 11 of the component mounting bracket 6 and brought into contact with the board 23, and the bolt hole 20 of the mounting piece 19 is aligned with the bolt hole 24 of the board 23. In this state, insert the bolt 21 into the mounting piece 19, the board 23, and each bolt hole 20, 24, 13 of the second mounting part 12, screw it into the nut 22, tighten it, and attach the starter relay 18 to the second mounting part 12. Attach to.

In the above mounting structure, the first mounting part 8 and the second mounting part 12 are integrally formed in close proximity to the component mounting bracket 6, and the flasher unit 15 and starter relay 18, which are respectively mounted, are attached to the component mounting bracket 6. can be installed compactly close to each other in the longitudinal direction. Further, since the starter relay 18 is mounted using the space below the upper plane 14 for mounting the component mounting bracket 6 to the vehicle body stationary member 5, the mounting space to the vehicle body stationary member 5 is narrow.

In addition to attaching the nut 22 to the second attachment part 12 via the substrate 23, a projection nut may be integrally fixed to the second attachment part 12.

As explained above, this invention has two sides bent into an L-shaped cross section, one side of which is used as a first component attachment part, and the other side is used as a second component attachment part. , the extension end of the second component attachment part is used as the attachment part to the attachment base such as the vehicle body stationary member, and the attachment piece for the component to be attached to the second component attachment part is inserted into the center of the corner of both sides. Since the mounting hole was formed,
When attaching two parts to the mounting base, the two parts can be mounted using a bracket the size of one part, and the mounting space for the bracket can be halved, and the space behind the first part can be used to attach the two parts. Two parts can be placed close together.

In particular, the shape of the bracket has the advantage that it is simple and inexpensive to form a mounting hole in the center of the bent corners of two sides of the bracket for one component.

Moreover, by forming the mounting hole as an opening, the second component can be mounted on the same side as the first component, which improves workability.
